What its like to get slapped twice in one day by God

Its a real bitch! But I didnt need to tell you that I'm sure. The other day I came across something that I never expected to see. A figure designed from one of my all time favourite manga/anime series from the mid 80s. Kimagure Orange Road. I absolutely adore this series and no matter how many years pass I still have tears of joy streaming down my face whenever I listen to the music. Proper tears! I fucking love this series so much. So how floored was I when I saw THIS?!

Out of the blue BAM! Madoka figure! And the bikini is even a design from the series too. Right now I'm in the negatives when it comes to money. Like, really shouldnt be spending money on anything. But this is a special rare time where I will absolutely smash myself more into debt because my soul will be crushed if I cant have this. So with this knowledge I clicked BUY and then yelled at the sky! FUCK YOU GOD! IM GETTING IT!

And then I heard a laugh. A mighty laugh as I stumbled across this....

Two? TWO?!?!! A mid 80s show suddenly gets TWO for no reason! And thats when I realized that laugh was god. He knew I wouldnt pass up the first one, but decided no, I'm going to break him. And then there were two. Even I know my limits. I definitely can not afford this right now. I have been beaten. Thankfully this one doesnt come out till september, supposedly, so hopefully it wont sell out before I can get the money together for it like the first one, which is sold out almost everywhere and not out till the end of the month. A little surprised they went with 2 bikini's and not something different. I tell you if they release the 3 characters together I'm going to go absolutely mental and probably kill someone for money.

I wasted some time on youtube listening to the intros again since my dvds are stored away and I'm too lazy to get them. And I remembered a few years ago they released a higher quality DVD set of it. I wanted to know if they went a step further and did a bluray conversion so my future self could get this and whore through it again for a 4th time. But no. There are no blurays. So I messaged Animeigo about it since they've recently done some bluray conversions of a few 80s anime and thats when the second slap smashed my face.
